GO message.. (date) FROM: Expedition Leader Mario Zucchelli Station TO: PNRA Consortium Office Christchurch Fax SAFAIR Operation Manager Christchurch Fax GLOBAL WEATHER SITUATION fm 07 th Nov 0700 L.T. to 8 th Nov 0700 L.T. ALOFT (500 hpa) A wide omega shaped low pressure system is affecting eastern part of Ross Sea area and the Ross Ice shelf, building a weak southern flow towards McMurdo Sound; at the same time, a ridge spreading from the high pressure area lying on the inner Plateau, extends its influence over the whole Victoria Land. As a result central and southern part of Victoria Land, will face clear and flying weather; however, the moderate horizontal pressure gradient settled between the windward side and the lee side of the mountains, will build a strong western wind flow with the feature of katabatic wind over central Victoria Land between Northern Foothills and David Glacier and, above all, over Terra Nova Bay area. SURFACE Over Terra Nova Bay mostly clear or scattered by mid and high levels clouds except for isolated patches of low clouds and advective fog along the coastal areas from the Campbell and Wood Bay. Visibility and definitions good. Moderate to strong (25-35 kts) western winds gusting up to 50kts during the first part of the day, decreasing during the afternoon to 20-30kts by 0500 utc (18.00loc). 2.

13 Appendice I-13 Situazione Sinottica: il settore centrosettentrionale della Terra Vittoria è ancora marginalmente influenzato dalla circolazione da sud, alimentata dal minimo depressionario ancora presente sul settore centro-orientale del Mare di Ross. Annuvolamenti stratiformi sono presenti sulle zone costiere tra Coulman Island a Cape Adare e nelle zone interne del David Glacier. Pictures courtesy of NOAA and DMSP satellite at utc and run of 12utc AMPS-MM5. Synoptic situation: the northern and central part of Victoria Land is still, though marginally affected, by the southern circulation due to the low pressure settled on the eastern part of Ross Sea. Low layered clouds are still affecting the coastal areas between Coulman Island and Cape Adare, and the inner zones of David Glacier. BAIA TERRA NOVA MCMURDO SOUND Italiano: Poco nuvoloso per nubi medio alte. Visibilità ottima e buona definizione suolo-orizzonte.
